I've got the 2424LV here at work. Unfortunately, I'm not a very knowledgeable audio person, just a newbie learning her way around.
Still, many of the folks here are quite knowledgeable with other units in the D series. Skippy, in particular, has saved my rear on a couple of occasions. (Thanks again, Skippy!)
There's also a Fostex-sponsored BBS at
http://www.fostex.com/cgi-local/bbs/ikonboard.cgi
It's not bad, with a lot of the same people, but there seems to be more traffic here on this board. (Plus, the folks on this board have been extremely patient with my oddball newbie non-music questions!)
I won't go into what I'm using them for (I think I wrote that in a previous post, I'll have to check and see). In essence, I'm simply replacing some 8-track 1/2" players used as workhorses. They get recorded to once, then played back zillions of times. Or maybe it just *feels* like zillions of times.
Don't be a stranger, fimpen!
